About Tayta Nikkei

Mermaid Beach gets a dose of Japanese-Peruvian fusion with crisp ceviche and pisco sours served in an energetic, dimly lit space. Date-nighters settle into cozy booths as lively music sets the pace, stripping away fine-dining formality while keeping the plating sharp. Diners often lean toward the multi-course banquets, sampling rich miso cod, beef fillet, and beef tacos alongside cold cocktails. The floor staff works the room like family, keeping the drinks flowing right through to dessert.

  • Nikkei Flavours: Japanese dishes infused with Peruvian ingredients, featuring fresh ceviche, miso cod, and beef tacos.
  • Tasting Banquets: Curated multi-course options ($69 and $89) paired with pisco sours and wine.
  • Lively, Cozy Ambience: A relaxed, unpretentious dining room combining upbeat music with attentive, welcoming hospitality.
